The property features lake and river views, and is 44 km from Cochin Shipyard. The boat has family rooms. I spent a very relaxing two nights on the houseboat, spending the first day travelling south and spending the night next to the rice paddy islands, then the second day returning along the other coastline. The food was consistently fantastic, with absolutely massive portions 😅
